>From the horses mouth (the patch file): + 8.6.11/8.6.11 95/03/08 + The ``possible attack'' message would be logged more often + than necessary if you are using Pine as a user agent. + The wrong host would be reported in the ``possible attack'' + message when attempted from IDENT. + In some cases the syslog buffer could be overflowed when + reporting the ``possible attack'' message. This can + cause denial of service attacks. Truncate the message + to 80 characters to prevent this problem. + When reading the IDENT response a loop is needed around the + read from the network to ensure that you don't get + partial lines. + Password entries without any shell listed (that is, a null + shell) wouldn't match as "ok". Problem noted by + Rob McMahon. + When running BIND 4.9.x a problem could occur because the + _res.options field is initialized differently than it + was historically -- this requires that sendmail call + res_init before it tweaks any bits. + Fix an incompatibility in openxscript() between the file open mode + and the stdio mode passed to fdopen. This caused UnixWare + 2.0 to have conniptions. Fix from Martin Sohnius of + Novell Labs Europe. + Fix problem with static linking of local getopt routine when + using GNU's ld command. Fix from John Kennedy of + Cal State Chico. + It was possible to turn off privacy flags. Problem noted by + *Hobbit*. + Be more paranoid about writing files. Suggestions by *Hobbit* + and Liudvikas Bukys. + MAKEMAP: fixes for 64 bit machines (DEC Alphas in particular) + from Spider Boardman. + CONFIG: No changes (version number only, to keep it in sync + with the binaries).
